| Name | Ardiss G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were in a vehicle, heard no sound. Appeared very low in the sky, I could see the electrical transmission lines in view with the streak behind it. As it crossed the highway to our left, the fireball disappeared as if it had gone out or disintegrated. We expected evidence of possible fire on the ground, but saw none. The head of the streak had a definite blue color, as it streaked left to right in front of us. |
